Adventures of a Runaway.
Exchange.

II any of our young readers are dis posed to run away from home, we ad- wise them to secure beforehand very atlectionate mother and father with plenty of money. It is not as common nowadaN for boys to run away as it once was, but they do it sometimes and get into terrible plights, out of which only the united power of a mothers love and a fathers money can get them.
 Nearly six years ago Henri Herion, aged seventeen, the son of German father and a French mother, ran away from his home in Providence and sailed to Antwerp. After visiting his rela- tions in various parts of Europe and wearing out his welcome, he was obliged to "face the music" and earn his right to live by labor.
 He became waiter at summer hotel, and, when the season was over, he moved to the milder climate of Venice, where again he served as waiter. Next he went to Algiers with an agent of Barnum to buy ostriches and hire "real Arabs" for the greatest show on earth.
 AS this could not be permanent em- ployment, he returned soon to Europe, where he roved about from place to place, always compelled to gain his subsistence as waiter in hotels-the last resort of counts and runaways.
 He wandered far, but still there seemed nothing for him but to wait at hotel tables and accept the trifing gratuities offered him by those whom he served. Sometimes he had good situation, and again he would find himself destitute of every resource, hungry, ill-clad and desolate.
 In Europe, alas there is always one door that stands wide open to a vigor- ous young fellow it is the door of the recruiting station. The young man from Providence enlisted in the French army for five years, and soon discov- cred that the life of an enlisted soldier is an acute form of perdition.
 Long marches under burning sun Ill malarious regions completed his re- pentance and brought him to the point of writing home for money.
 Before it reached him he deserted. He was caught; he deserted again: he was caught again, and he found him. self in dungeon living on bread and water, few miles from the city of Algiers. He escaped again and again, until, utterly discouraged, he sub mitted to his fate and with three hun- dred other deserters settled down to basket-making as a permanent pris- oner.
 But he had at home a mother whose love nothing could exhaust; he had also father who could not forget him; he had likewise an Uncle Sam whose long arms can reach from Washington to Algiers. That mothers love gave that father no peace until he went to Paris, and, through the good offices of the secretary of state and the American minister, extracted the run away from his prison, and set him down safe and sound in the city of Providence.
 It required two years of expense and negotiation to effect his release, for those European governments, loose as they are in some respects, keep the tightest possible clutch upon their soldiers. Henri does not intend to wander any more.

THE CHICAGO MARKET.
The Death of Mr.. Cole the Chic
Topic of the Day.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, July 23.-The crowd flocked
around the signal service blackboard
this morning, anxious to obtain some in
formation on what they might buy or
sell. A very little proyOcation suffices
at this stage of the game. The bears
found the most comfort at the opening,
and August wheat, which closed at
7035c, was soon weak at roc. Five min
uteS later it sold at 6934c, and one crowd
declared that it had started on its inc
vitable journey to it's objective point,
Csc. There were scores, however, who
said NO." and they supported the neg
ative proposition with such zeal that the
cereal was bulled to 69Isc. To-day,
for the first time in nearly a
week, wheat led the corn crowd,
although both pits were filled
to OverfiOwing with spectators. The
first sale of August wheat was made at
701sc. Corn opened at 371sc, oats at
25c, August lard at $500 and August
ribs at IS. Oats fell to 245sc and wheat
show a weakening tendency as trading
continued. Dull and SpiritleSS as was
to-day's trading, there was one an
nOuncement many times made on the
board which created a profound impress
sion. 1t was no news OF drought, or
rain, or. commercial disaster, no crop
which promised to make or break any
mans fortune, no loss by land or sea
nor rumor of foreign war. The tidings
voiced tenderly and with bated
breath were contained in the SEN
tence: "Cy Cole is dead" Cyrus
E. Cole, who died at OcOnOmOwOc, Wis,
at late hour last night, had been a
member of the board for about sixteen
years. He was year ON the sunny side
of forty, of magnificent physique, of ir-
reprOachable character, a warm friend,
and devoted husband and father. Two
weeks ago Saturday he went North, and
although then suffering from little dis
arrangement of his system, found, as he
supposed, complete relief in the rest and
quiet of the Wisconsin summer resort.
A week ago to-day he built bonfire to
amuse the little folks, became
heated, and lying down on the
ground contracted cold which
resulted in inflammation of the bowels.
His family physician was summoned
from Chicago, and everything possible
was done for his relief, but he breathed
his last shortly before midnight. He
leaves wife, boy of eleven years and
a child two months old. His death has
created profound feeling OF sorrow.
He did a Scalping bsuineSS in wheat, and
had been quite successful. The markets
dragged until the::cloSe, the tendency be-
ing to weakness in grain and to strength
in provisions. 1t was noticed that on
the decline in wheat some of the largest
operators showed greater disposition
to buy than they have evinced recently.

The Augustine Order.

TROY. n. Y, July 23.-In reply to
the statement made against Father Gil
more, of Waterford. the deposcd pro-
vincial of the order of St. Augustine in
the United States, that clergyman said
to-day: Il regret to see that diSsen-
SionS exist in the Augustinian order in
this country. and that family infelici-
ties have found their way into public
print. 1t is clearly evident that the az
ticle which has been telegraphed all
over the country was written by dis
satisfied member of the order. How
work of this kind can promote the cause
of religion | am unable to comprehend.
/ shall say nothing in reply. believing
that as there has been no attack upon
me which can in the least impair my
usefulness as a priest, or lessen my in
fluence with my congregation. no good
purpose can be served by engaging iii
newspaper discussion. ~

Minneapolis Burglars.

Another bold burglary occurred last
evening in Minneapolis, under the
shadow of the city hall, in which the
most careless disregard of the police
commission and the feelings of the in
spectors was displayed. About o O'clock
some one entered the rear door OF the
Johnston Installment house, on Henne-
pin avenue. and, while the proprietor
and his clerks were at work, opened the
safe door, which was unlocked, and.
with chisel, pried open the inner
drawers and carried off their contents.
1t happened that there was but little
%9ffy das IN ees @ ae bet cmefks any
sum, were taken. None of them were
indorsed, however, and payment will be
stopped at once, so the thieves will get
very little reward for their bold def
ance of the police authorities.

Just now the chief topic of conversa-

Tuesday, July 26. As the day of the
exhibition draws near, interest in the
event increases at a remarkable rate. 1t
would seem that the entire community
had the circus fever, and badly. too.
Well, it is not strange that our people
should enthuse over the Messrs. Sells
| aggregation. as it is a StupendOuS and
unparalleled affair, and creates blaze of
excitement wherever it appears. From
all indications there will be the largest
crowd in the city, OH the day of Sells
Brothers visit here, that has ever been
known in the history of the town. The
MeSSrS. Sells have been playing to the
capacity of their tents everywhere. No
such complete and gigantic success
ever attended circus tour before.

show, and scarcely day passes but

seen the establishment this season,

wider range of attractions than any

us that the same huge and magnificent
programme that charmed and dazZled
Philadelphia. Baltimore, Washington,
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Cleveland and
Detroit will be presented here, and in
the same complete and faultless man
ner, too. One of the most commenda-
BILE features of the Sells management is
that they present their exhibition with
as much care and elabOrateness in the
smaller cities as in the metropolitan
centerS.
Sells Brothers will surely receive an
ovation here.

The CunaI.d Line Is Poor.

NEW YORK, July 23.-EliZa Martin, q
passenger on the steamship Oregon,
when the vessel sunk near Fire Island
on the morning OF March II, 1856, began
suit for 5,0O0 against the CUnard COM
pany for damages to her person and loss
OF property. The company now replies
that it has operated its line at a pecuniary
loss for several years, and asks the
United States district court for limita
ton of its liability for all damage re-
Sulting from the casualty. The petitioner
claims that the accident was altogether
due 10 the careleSSneSS Of the unknown
VeSScF' which it is alleged ran into the
Oregon. and declares that nothing was
saved except ten boats and RATS, on
which the company paid $50. The'pe-
titiOnerS' desiring to claim the benefit Of
the limit of liability, provided for by
sections 4. 233 and 1886 of the revised
statutes, are willing to pay inJo the
court the value of their interest i'll the
ten boats and RATS. the remnants of the
wreck, less tie $3.50 paid. They then
ask that this amount, when regularly
appraised, be distributed among the
persons claiming injury by the acci-
dent, and that all persons be restrained
from bringing other suits as Il result of
the disaster. The statute referred to says
that the liability OF the owner of any
vessel for embeZZlement, loss or de-
structiOn of any act, matter Or thing
lost without the privity or knowledge
of the owner, shall in no case exceed
the interest of such owner in such yes
sci and her freight then pending.

LIQUOR II RHODE ISLAND.
1t Still Flows, Regardless of Po-
lice Interference.

PROVIDENCE, r. I. July 23-Searches
and seizures under the prohibitOry law
during the past few days have created a
temporary panic among Rhode Island
liquor dealers. The prohibitory law, as
amended, gives the chief of state police
virtually autocratic power. He and his
deputies can search, seize, arrest and
imprisOn as they please. Suspicion, of the
reasonableness CT which they are the
iudges.is sufficient to justify under law
a fOrcible entry into private house.
Fortunately, however, Chief of State 1'o-
lice Curtis is a man who will not know
ingly abuse his authority. and so far
there has been no cause to complain
against him as tyrannical. He might'as
well. however. Try to bail out Nara
gansett bay with a water pail as to stop

There are more places selling than
under license. and this is because pPo-

THE CABLE WAR.
A Deal on Foot to Bring 1t to an
End.

New YORK, July 23.-The World as
serts that it has trustworthy infOrma-
ton that negotiations have been going
on between Messrs. Gould and
Mackay for cessation of the
cable war, and that commit
- ee consisting of Messrs. Eckert for the
Western Union company, and Barlow
and Chandler for the Commercial Cable
company and United Lines Telegraph
company, has held several meetings to
formulate plan. The hitch occurs
over the guarantee of the Commercial,
made in May. 1886, that in case it ad
vanced rates above 40 cents word at
any time, it would refund to
customers the excess of 10 or 13
cents word received by it over
and above what the other companies
would have charged for transmitting
the message. 1t is estimated that S.
100000 would have to be refunded under
this agreement. Mr.. Mackay, it is said,
wants Mr.. Gould to assume this Obliga-
ton, and Mr.. Gould is trying to devise
some way of avoiding it. The deal hangs
fire at this point at present.
